The wire layout we used was supposed to be in a straight line from top to bottom.  We used the wires connected to the bulb to connect the bulbs to each other instead of cutting pieces of wire. We used the battery and wires to connect the bulbs in a series. Our project has electrical tape on it to help keep the bulbs in a straight line. Three of the bulbs are dimmer than the other three. I chose series circuit diagram because it's slightly easier to calculate the resistance and current.

Light House

Light House
Light House

My partner and I decided to build a light house. We are doing this because the light house is a fun thing to build. We used recyclable materials such as, cardboard, lights, multimeter, 9V battery, wires, roll, and Gatorade bottle. We built a diagram to show the light bulbs current in ohms. After that we started to calculate the resistance so we can find the voltage/battery life in our battery. We used one one battery to power 4 light bulbs. The lights were equally bright. In conclusion the battery had the right power to light up all 4 bulbs.


This was a cool project for me to do and that’s why we decided to build a lighthouse. I also have seen lighthouses where i use to live and they're a very amazing thing to see and thought it would be great to make a sculpture. We didn't have the box/base we wanted, so we made a smaller version. Being taught how to use Ohm's Law really made this project easier.
